What the petition asks
Put politics aside and work together to create a national memorial to honour and remember all the amazing, lovely heroes who have sadly passed during covid-19.
This event is unprecendented and we have not seen anything like it since WWII. We must remember, and we must go forward having learned the lessons from the present. We should remember all those who have passed, who have done a great service for our country in this time of need. They will be, and should be, in our hearts and minds for generations to come.
